Spruce Point Presents
Remember to keep fireworks legal, safe July Fourth
The Office of State Fire
Marshal (OSFM), the Or-
egon Fire Service, natural
resource agencies, Oregon
licensed fireworks whole-
salers and safety experts
all encourage Oregonians
to “keep it legal and keep it
safe” when using fireworks.
The 2019 Oregon fire-
works retail sales season
opened June 23 and runs
through July 6. The OSFM
and their partners want
everyone to know which
fireworks are legal to use in
Oregon without a permit,
where they are permitted to
be used and the important
safety steps to take when
using legal fireworks.
“I want to remind all
Oregonians that consum-
er legal fireworks can only
be purchased from Oregon
permitted fireworks retail-
ers and stands,” says State
Fire Marshal Jim Walk-
er. “And, regulations limit
where those fireworks may
be used. Fire risk in Oregon
is already high, and as the
weeks go by that risk will
only increase, so there is no
room for error in fireworks
safety.”
July 4 holiday public land
visitors are advised to leave
all fireworks at home. The
use of fireworks is prohib-
ited on all national forest-
land, Oregon state parks
and beaches.
However, residents state-
wide can still enjoy fire-
works at officially spon-
sored community events.
For residents who pur-
chase legal fireworks, the
OSFM encourages every-
one to practice the four Bs
of safe fireworks use:
• Be prepared before
lighting fireworks: keep wa-
ter available by using a gar-
den hose or bucket.
• Be safe when lighting
fireworks: keep children
and pets away from fire-
works.
• Be responsible after
lighting fireworks: never
relight a dud. Wait 15 to 20
minutes then soak it in a
bucket of water before dis-
posal.
• Be aware: use only le-
gal fireworks and use them
only in legal places
Oregon law prohibits the
possession, use or sale of
any firework that flies into
the air, explodes or travels
more than 12 feet horizon-
tally on the ground, with-
out a permit issued by the
OSFM.
Fireworks
commonly
called bottle rockets, Ro-
man candles and firecrack-
ers are illegal in Oregon
without a permit.
For the last reported five
years through 2018, there
were 1,264 reported fire-
works-related fires in Ore-
gon recorded by the state’s
structural fire agencies, re-
sulting in more than $3.5
million in property dam-
age.
During that same period,
fires resulting from fire-
works resulted in one death
and 26 injuries. The data
from structural fire agen-
cies do not include inci-
dents that occurred on fed-
eral and other state lands.
Officials may seize illegal
fireworks and charge of-
fenders with a class B mis-
demeanor, which could re-
sult in a fine of up to $2,500
per violation and a civil
penalty of up to $500.
Those who misuse fire-
works or allow fireworks to
cause damage are liable and
may be required to pay fire
suppression costs or other
damage. Parents are also
liable for fireworks damage
caused by their children.
“All Oregonians share the
responsibility to use only
consumer legal fireworks
and use them carefully,”
adds Walker. “We encour-
age you to be aware and
considerate of neighbors
and their pets before de-
ciding on when and where
you choose to light legal
fireworks.”
The OSFM has published
FAQs for commonly an-
swered questions about the
sale and legal use of con-
sumer fireworks, permits
for the retail sale of fire-
works and state rules for
their use and enforcement
activities.
OSFM’s fireworks educa-
tion materials for sharing
on social media also can be
found at www.oregon.gov/
osp/programs/sfm/.
